Quantum games have proposed a new point of view for the solution of the classical problems and dilemmas in game theory. It has been shown that are more efficient than classical games and provide a saturated upper bound for this efficiency [1].

Entanglement, when included in quantum games, makes (somehow) everybody win. Entangled quantum strategies are such that all players cooperate, and classical egoism (destructive) is replaced by quantum altruism (constructive) [2].

Entanglement might explain some form of telepathy, actually quantum pseudo-telepathy between “quantum-minded” players who play a quantum game. Thanks to
